Let's share those simming discoveries that you didn't know about. Which means we might not know either!

While playing the sims yesterday I discovered a cute thing. If there is a toddler near a rampaging werewolf, the toddler will have a playful moodlet that will allow them to hug the werewolf with the Hug the Soft Doggie interaction.I specify that the toddler is also a werewolf, so maybe it only affects these babies and not the regular ones. I found this very funny and sweet.Playful +2What a soft doggy!(To be near a rampaging werewolf)I want to hug them!

Random fact explained: Ocean Safety levelThis feature is for swimmable waters in the neighborhood, be it oceans, rivers, lakes etc. Essentially, it determines two things: can sharks be encountered and can your sim be pulled underwater.There are three safety levels:Safe - No shark encountersMild - Shark encounters, but no (or very rare) chance of being pulled underwaterDangerous - Shark encounters with a chance of being pulled underwaterThe setting apples to the neighborhood. Here are some examples:SafeOhan'ali Town (Sulani)Gibbs Hill (Britechester)Every other ocean not mentioned in further listsMildLani St. Taz (Sulani)University of Britechester (Britechester)Gilbert Gardens (San Sequoia) (debated for now)DangerousMua Pel'am (Sulani)Foxbury Institute (Britechester)Koh Sahpa (Tomarang)When your sim is swimming in a mild or dangerous ocean, they have a chance of encountering a shark, giving them a Scared moodlet (or Happy one if they have Child of the ocean trait).In dangerous oceans, sims have a chance of being pulled underwater. One of these two things must have happened before that:They've encountered a shark.They've got Island Curse after banishing an Island Spirit.After being pulled underwater, they may either survive and be scared (and have a higher chance of being pulled underwater again) or they may drown.While mermaids can call the ocean threat to pull sims underwater (even in pools), it'll never kill sims in that case.So yeah, next time your sim encounters a shark, be mindful of the neighborhood they're in. If it's one listed under Dangerous, get out of the water.

Did you know that there are replacement clubs in The Sims 4 Get Together? These appear once the total club count in a save falls below 10, making the game take a random club template and populate it with random sims. The replacement clubs include Get Together, Base Game, Outdoor Retreat, and Get to Work activities.Or does it...Did you also know that the only post-Get Together pack to add new replacement clubs is Island Living? This here is Dive Club, the newest replacement club! It even has its own special icon! Though it will show as missing icon in the name tag. Still, would you join a Dive Club? The only activity is diving!

Oh, some bottom of the iceberg knowledge!Remember the City Living feature where friends could invite you to go to see performances, such as circuses, operas, musicals etc. Oh these used to be buggy, telling you that the event is occurring, but once the time came, they didn't call you back to get your sim to go there...Anyway, one message that can come after one performance is this:Spoiler (Highlight to read)The Murder of 1313 21 Chic Street was such a terrifying performance. Who would have thought it was all a true story. I feel sorry for the poor saps that live in that apartment.The Murder of 1313 21 Chic Street was such a terrifying performance. Who would have thought it was all a true story. I feel sorry for the poor saps that live in that apartment.So yeah, the infamous 1313 21 Chic Street did have a murder happen in it (and thus the chalk outline there), and a musical was made out of it.As a Needs TLC apartment, there are some things that cannot be removed (the drainer in the bathroom for example). Yeah, no removing that chalk outline either.

Was reading some obscure sections of Carl’s Guide and found a reference to something I’d never really thought about. Sims actually have preferences in movies. Apparently, it’s a base game feature that has never been expanded or added to with additional packs. You can pick movies for your sims based on their traits eg Bros and active sims love action movies, while evil sims hate family movies and love horror movies. Might be time to bring out the popcorn maker and do some experimenting…

@GiardiniDiMarzo How adorable! Did it help calm the adult wolf? Thanks for sharing 🙂

@LadyAofPineapple Unfortunately no... but the interaction never fails, the rampaging werewolf will always hug the toddler back.

Hi @GiardiniDiMarzo,

Well, this may be the cutest thing I've ever seen.

I feel like like there needs to be an update where toddler hugs have a chance to pacify a rampaging werewolf (/◕ヮ◕)/

@GiardiniDiMarzo I love this!
It makes me a little less petrified of them. I have one solo werewolf as I deleted all the ones I could find, I just wanted the content without the fluffy terror.
But this is adorable ❤️.

@simsplayer818 you can limit werewolves to the mill town (you will only see them in other towns in human form), as well as disabling the fury appearance. You can play them however you want, as good citizens, even! They will naturally be despised if others find out, but you can use certain social interactions to improve relationships. I even have a vampire/werewolf couple, definitely had the enemies-to-lovers trope happening though! haha

@LadyAofPineapple Yeah I'm glad I could do that, I didn't do it straight away so I had to go through and find all the Werewolves I could and delete them. I ended up with one new pack leader spawning. I edited her, disabled Fury Effect and moon effects. She appeared at a family Sulani camping trip during a full moon but in human form but nothing happened and she just stood there. She's joined a few Sim conversations in public places too and been friendly.
I also got rid of the bar in Moonwood Mill because werewolf bartenders kept spawning.
I do like the pack content a lot but the thing I love most about it is the build mode music, it's absolutely beautiful. I turn it up to listen to it.
I get groups of teens to visit Moonwood Mill during full moons on dares now to see if anything happens but it's been very tame...so far!
